"USB Thumb drive damaged and need the data"

Does anyone know who is best at getting data off a physically damaged thumb drive? I am needing a low cost solution. Some places want to charge between $600 and $700. They also claim that they have to do it in a 'clean room.' Any takers?

I once had a similar experience -- the memory chip portion of my thumb drive got shorn off the USB connector. To fix it, you might consider soldering a connector onto it.
